Tampa/Texas is off the board right now. Looks like Maddon and the Rays are scrapping Niemann in favor of mega-prospect Matt Moore in game one despite the fact he's only pitched 9 innings at the big league level.

Sure we'll see a line on this game early tomorrow morning. Game starts at 5:05 PM.

Night game ...

8:35 PM

Detroit Tigers (Verlander) +112NY Yankees (Sabathia) -132

Texas Rangers to the bank! Dont believe the hype, exhaustion setting in. CJ with 30 Buffs in 112 AB's vs this lineup. Tampa has a .151 Career Batting average against with a .527 OPS? Those are Rey Ordonez numbers. Young phenom Moore k's 7, but also walks 5 and only last 4 innings. Taxed bullpen of TB then taken to task.
